I've really got into investment banking in the past few years, and a lot of people i know are more blue-collarish or "i work 9-5 until i'm 67 in a cubicle and i'll be happy" type of people (i was also one of these types in undergrad).
And anytime I get on the financial institution's sides to defend certain things, I get shit on.
But anyway, I actually believe that banks provide the opportunities (via Financing and other things) for the world to grow and expand for the better. I actually think that through financing innovation and new ideas we create a better standard of living for everyone in the world (look at india and china only 50+ years ago). I know some people exploit a lot of things in the finance world, but thats human nature.
Anyone else actually agree with me that investment banking actually does serve a great purpose in our world, or is everyone here doing just for the money?
This is not a post to start an argument, just wanted to hear some people's opinions.
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
grow and expand yes for the better.... depends... has nothing to do with 9-5 either
.
dont think banking really helps anyone. it's just a necessary mechanism to expedite the flow of capital to the right places. individually, bankers are replaceable and exchangeable no question about it
Banking does not do a shit for growing the economy.
